Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy, and Frankenstein had purchased the old
Family Funtime park on the outskirts of town. They worked frantically during the
Nights to get it up to speed. One of the things they all agreed on was that the park
Would have free popcorn for all visitors. Wolfman wanted to serve tea with the popcorn,
While Frankenstein predictably recommended wine. Red Wine!
It was the opening day and Mummy was tightening the screws on the ferris wheel, he was so
Happy that children would be coming that night. Dracula was practicing his dance moves
In the awesome skating rink that featured dry ice and laser lights. There was a picture of Chewbacca
On the wall that was truly larger than life. Someone probably Frankenstein had drawn graffiti on the wall, this
Was only making Dracula practice with more intensity. He was dancing so fast that the ghosts could not see him,
He looked like a motion blur.
When the people came they were all on the edge of reason, everyone was severely freaked out by all of the
Death noises and death sights, and eerie smells that covered everything like a panic fog. 500 teenagers came to the
Park that night, none of them left unchanged. What happened to those people will never be known.
It was a one night affair. Draculal, The Wolfman, The Mummy, and Frankenstein never spoke of it again, only
Occasionally they would give a little grin, Dracula would dance with a small glimmer in his eye, and the mummy
Would pretend to tighten invisible bolts, while the Wolfman gave a light Knowing Howl. It was there secret.
It was there secret monster party. Never speak of it among the dead, for they are with you in your secret mind.
It all ended when the real estate agent came by the next morning, and said, “shucks we ain’t never gonna sell this old
Decrepit place, unless we pretend to discover oil on it and write about it on websites” “Yeah” a voice said. “you gotta trick’em”
The man left quickly never talking about it to anyone.

Gourmet Popcorn Ideas…
Gourmet popcorn is merely a name given to popcorn that is flavored. While plain popcorn with a little salt tastes great, most people prefer their popcorn kicked up a notch with some type of topping….
